    Good Afternoon, I am swapping a 4BT into my 1995 F150 (had a 5.8L) with an E4OD. The flex plate I bought used from a guy who had the same truck, same setup with this E4OD. The flex plate does not meet the starter when the starter is engaged (pics attached). The flex plate as well as the...

    Well it's finally happening. I've wanted a 5 speed swap almost as long as I've had the truck, I never was a big fan of the ttb, and when I discovered the 4bt I decided I had to have one. Finding all of this locally for a decent price was difficult, but I think I made out alright. Subject of the...

    I found a mechanic that has a brand new never been used ford zf5, its been sitting in his shop for 5 years. He says he will give it to me for $900 (sounds very negotiable) The bad thing is that I need a 4X4 transmission, any one converted one from 2wd to 4X4?? Is it worth to get this "BRAND...

    I'm sure this has been discussed numerous times, but please bear with me... I'm looking at swapping a 4BT into my '88 Bronco. I've located a 1988 Ford step van with a 4BT and 5-speed manual. The van is located about 300 miles away, and the seller doesn't know exactly what engine/transmission...

    One of my coworkers will sell me his 1992 dodge duelly diesel (6bt) for $1500. It has close to 300K miles, but it was a hard used farm truck. Its already on its 2nd NV4500 ( the pulled way more weigth than the truck was rated for) I planned on using the NV4500 and assosiated parts off of it...

    Mine will be going into a 4x4 Bronco, do I HAVE to get a 4X4 tranny? What is the difference? Can you use a 2WD on a 4X4 vehicle? Sorry for the newbie question, but should be simple for you fellas with experience. Thansk

    I want to know how you guys that got a step van found yours. I contacted Fritolay and they sent me over to an auction site dovebidding or something like that. Is that how yall found the step vans? Craigslist has not helped. Ebay only found rebuilt motors for over $3K I drove around looking...

    I have a 79 bronco that I want to put a diesel into. I have not made up my mind on a 6bt or 4bt yet. It seems like a 6bt is easier to get and I can get an installation kit and instruction book from fordcummins.com, but that motor weighs alot more and might more easily tear up my axles. The...
